The advantage of a .22 for learning is...
that recoil is not present, allowing the shooter to concentrate on the:
sight alignment,
breathe control,
& trigger control.
Larger caliber introduces early the effect of recoil, WHICH may aggravate the learning process. Most semi-auto's need pull power loads to operate, using downloaded ammom (must reload) then you'll need to use less powerful recoil springs.
If using a .38Spl revolver, then the use of target wadcutters then lessens the recoil effect (almost duplicates a .22).
